TBI CALDWELL WWJW Trying Out the Sates Tax By CALEB J0HN80N 1 think it is as certain as anything in the future can be that eventually the UAed States will adopt a general Mdea a* a mean# of raising national revenue. 'I am sure that will come abéut'as noon as the majority of people understand exactly what is meant by 'a! salen tax, and when they have had an opportunity to observe the operation of the sales tax in the state of Mississippi. Mississippi has gone boldly ahead and adopted a sales tax, which went into effect on the first day of May this year. After a month's experience everybody in Mississippi—at least favor of the sales tax. The best argument of all in favor of the sales tax which is automatically distributed among the people in pre- cise proportion to their ability to pay it. If there were a sales tax of two percent, let us say, on every article of commerce, then the man who spends $500 a year would pay $10 in taxes, and the man who spends $5,000 would pay $100 in taxes,...

There is a tax on soft prinks, for example, and the consumar is going to pay it whenever he buys even a bottle of soda pop, perhaps not by paying more, but maybe by getting less for his nickel. Every time anybody buys a watch or a piece of jewelry or any kind of sporting goods, he is going to pay more for them. Those taxes and many of the others are effective as of June 21st of this year. The average citisen is going to pay some of them in his monthly elec- tric light bill, which will carry a 8 percent tax.
